Our deep back border is a work in progress. But we're not wanting to waste money on buying full grown plants, so it will develop over time. That's ok. The part of the border with the herbs in is looking good.
You can see Sage, Rosemary, masses of Lemon Balm and just out of shot Thyme, which is covered in tiny flowers and bees.
The other half of the border still has some gaps, but we're working on it.
The house is now midway between being red brick and painted in Cornish Cream. I can't wait until it's finished. It will look fantastic. These two pics show the back of the house.
All in all a nice bit of progress made. The house will be completely finished and looking ticketyboo for my first knitting workshop on June 28th.

It's looking great, I love the colour of the fence panels it looks similar to the colour I want to paint mine. I'm sure the upper level of my house is painted in Cornish Cream , it was a far brighter shade of yellow when we first had it applied. I'm pleased to say it has weathered to a much more reasonable shade of cream.
ReplyDeletehouse and garden bloomin marvelous the fence is really nice
ReplyDeleteI love the colour of the walls. I wish I had found Cornish cream when the inside of the house was painted last month – I would like that colour everywhere! I went for warm stone, which ended up a sort of dull pink – not the look I wanted to at all. Your garden is gorgeous, and everything looks very healthy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea to paint your red bricks! The house is looking very "New England" now. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThe painted brick looks really good! Was it a difficult decision??
